CHISEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,937, dated October 6, 1903.

Application filed April 20, 1903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NEWTON HORACE SMITH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bonaparte, in the county of Van Enron and State of Iowa, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Chisels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to chisels specially 'asI have just described, as clogging by chips adapted for use in wood-turning.

The object had in view is to provide a chisel of the character stated with cutting edges so constructed that the fiber of the material being turned will be cut 06 in a smooth manner, not broken, and then rapidly removed. With my chisel rapid, accurate, and smooth work in squaring up ends, removing superfluous material, plowing grooves, either vertical or oblique, in making pulleys, rosettes, or disks is facilitated. It is useful and rapid in all face-plate work and in getting work ready for other tools.

The invention consists of the special construction and combinations of parts, which I will now proceed to describe and point out the novel features in the subjoined claims."

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- 7 Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line 0: 50, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing the bit detached, and Fig. 5 is an inverted plan detail view illustrating the cutting end of myinvention.

In carrying out my invention Iemploy a stock A, having in its upper face a groove B with bevel sides B. The stock A has parallel sides A, ending at its forward end with projecting spurs 0, having rounding cutting edges 0', as shown. The cut-away forward end portion D of the stock A is fashioned into a cutting edge D'.

E indicates an adjustable bit having under= Serial No. 153,444. (No model.)

beveled side edges E. It will be noticed that my bit E corresponds in cross-section with and fits snugly into the groove B and when in place that its upper side is substantially level with the top or upper cutting portion of the spur-cutters G. The forward end of the bitE is under-beveled, forming a cutting edge E Special advantage results in fitting the bit or spongy material being turned is thereby prevented from getting pnder it.

Means for securing the bit in place-on the stock may-be variously modified without departing from the spirit of my invention. One form whereby adjustment is afforded consists in providing it with an elongated slot F, adapted to receive a screw G, tapped into the stock A. Any suitable handle H may be employed and the same be formed integral with the stock A or of wood, as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letat its forward end, and means whereby the .bit is held as adjusted substantially as described.

2. A wood-turning chisel consisting of a stock having a groove on its upper side with bevel side edges as specified, an adjustable bit conforming with a cross-section of the said groove, spurs with forward rounding edge and a rear chisel-edge at the forward end of the stock, and means whereby the bit is se- I cured as adj usted substantially as described.
